I don't know what the Democrats are going to do after they check out the economic numbers on Friday.
They were probably already tearing their hair out because the economic disaster they kept predicting would come from President Donald Trump's policies hadn't happened. Not only hasn't it happened, but the economy is strong, as "Mr. Wonderful" Kevin O'Leary explained on a CNN Panel on Wednesday night.
Now, more numbers are in, and they're even better, so prepare a crying towel for the Democrats.
The consumer price index was less than expected, with the lowest rate in four years.
The consumer price index, which measures the costs for a broad range of goods and services, rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2% for the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.3%, its lowest since February 2021, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. The monthly reading was in line with the Dow Jones consensus estimate while the 12-month was a bit below the forecast for 2.4%.
Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the core CPI also increased 0.2% for the month, while the year-over-year level was 2.8%. The forecast was for 0.3% and 2.8%, respectively.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt celebrated.
President Trump is defeating the Biden inflation crisis and Making America Affordable Again!

But that wasn't all.
CNBC's Rick Santelli said personal income increased 0.8 percent in April — "almost triple the expectations."

"They're powerful numbers — up 0.6% in January, up 0.7% in February, up 0.5% last month, up 0.8% this month. This is a GREAT four-month start to any year." pic.twitter.com/s1Rx1KAYFl
"They're powerful numbers — up 0.6 percent in January, up 0.7 percent in February, up 0.5 percent last month, up 0.8 percent this month. This is a great four-month start to any year," he raved.
More money in your pocket, I like it.
Santelli went on to explain how stellar they were. He noted he'd never seen any administration so transparent.
CNBC's Rick Santelli: "The income numbers, really, for the first four months of year — they're stellar ... This administration is criticized for just about everything under the sun ... Why don't we give credit where credit is due? Income really shooting up." 🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/TuqN9JMoIp

He asked, "Why don't we give credit where credit is due [to the administration]?" adding, "Income is really shooting up."
Not only that, the trade deficit number is also plummeting, a big narrowing in a month.
🚨 CNBC on new trade deficit numbers: "We cut it in HALF!? ... This really does underscore how the movement of goods and services has really changed due to a variety of tariff-related issues."

It's the biggest narrowing of the trade deficit in a single month on record. pic.twitter.com/oPlZKOGGkF
He explained that it was much less than expected, by about half. "We cut it in half?" Santelli exclaimed.
"This really does underscore how the movement of goods and services has really changed due to a variety of tariff-related issues." The trade deficit in goods narrowed by 46 percent to $87.6 billion in April from $162.3.
That's President Donald Trump — virtually all his economic numbers have come in better than the "experts/media" were expecting.
Editor's Note: President Trump is leading America into the "Golden Age" as Democrats try desperately to stop it.
